A SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 63 
On this trip to Robson Peak, Dr. Walcott approached from the 
west side, in order to study the local geological section which he con- 
siders one of the finest in the world. From the west foot of Robson 
Peak, Whitehorn Peak rises on the north to a height of 7,850 feet 
above Lake Kinney (frontispiece), and on the east the cliffs of 
Robson rise tier above tier from the surface of the lake to the summit 
of the peak, a vertical distance of 9,800 feet. The base of this geo-

logical section is shown on the right of the frontispiece, and the 
upper half by figure 1, while figure 2 illustrates a profile of 7,500 feet 
of the section. 
From beneath the base of the mountain at Lake Kinney, the strata 
slope gently upward so that more than 4,000 feet in thickness of 
beds, which pass under Robson Peak, are exposed in ledges to the 
north and south. A considerable portion of this thickness is shown 
in the dark peak to the left of Whitehorn Peak in the frontispiece.
